2.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words,the origin(起源) of language is a mystery.All we have really known is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions,and the things,so that they would communicate with each other; and that later they agree upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined(結(jié)合) to represent those sounds,and which could be written down.These sounds,whether spoken or written in letters,are called words.The power of words,then,lies in their associations(交際)---the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal (具有感染力) powerfully to our minds and emotions (情感).This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字) style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can convey (轉(zhuǎn)達) his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly,or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的).

分析 文章介紹了文字的產(chǎn)生和在人類活動中的功能.一開始人類的交流是通過聲音,后來有了符號,也就是文字的雛形.有了文字,人類就可以記錄一切.
解答 29.C 細節(jié)理解題.文章中說All we have really known is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions,and the things,so that they would communicate with each other人和動物不同,人類通過某種聲音表達思想和情感,行為和事物,可以彼此交流;and that later they agree upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined(結(jié)合) to represent those sounds,and which could be written down后來他們通過符號來把聲音和事物結(jié)合起來.可以知道文字一開始是沒有書面形式的.故選C.

點評 閱讀理解是考查語篇理解能力.?嫉念}型有:推理判斷題;主旨大意題;細節(jié)理解題;猜測詞意題.近幾年又出現(xiàn)了兩種新的考查方式:寫作態(tài)度判斷題和文章結(jié)構(gòu)題.解題時,在讀懂文章的基礎(chǔ)上,還有特別注意掌握題型的特征,尤其是細節(jié)題和推斷題不可混淆:細節(jié)題是文章信息的再現(xiàn);推斷題是文章信息的提。绢}是廣告類文章,考查主要是以細節(jié)題為主,細節(jié)題要注意常用的出題陷阱有:夸大,縮小,張冠李戴,偷梁換柱,無中生有等,做題時要看清看準.
